I like that thanks bowman for the pics. It has made me want to do it even more now. Thanks for the advice lostarrow.

BOWMAN53:
no problem, i was thing about making one myself.

KHalverson:
fwiw
I was just looking at one of my blacksmithing books.
it gives an example of an adze forged from barstock.
a couple hot cuts and drifting out the handle.
looks pretty ez peazy.

lostarrow:
Hey Kevin,
   would you splice in a piece of high grade stuff like you would for an axe on the cutting edge?

Zuma:
Nice work on the adz.
Just wondering about removing the hammer portion?
Less weight good? Or is it about looks?
